Incredibly Deep and Wide Imaging from Shure!

Shure's SRH1440 open-back headphones set a new standard for critical listening headphones. With an incredibly wide frequency response and excellent detail, these phones are ideal for any situation where you must hear every detail of your project but can't use traditional studio monitors. The SRH1440s are also ideal for checking your masters for headphone compatibility - they'll provide the stereo separation and increased low-end that all headphones will provide, but with a pure and uncolored sound that allows you to make crucial mix decisions. Even if you're only using them to listen to your favorite tunes, you'll fall in love with the lifelike sound of the Shure SRH1440 open-back headphones.

Shure SRH1440 Open-back Headphones at a Glance:
  • Open-back design for distortion-free audio
  • Wide frequency response
  • Smart accessory package
Open-back design for distortion-free audio

Because they're designed for critical listening, the Shure SRH1440s utilize an open-back design. Closed-back designs isolate sound better, preventing leakage from your phones into a live mic for example, but can subtly distort audio particularly in the lower frequencies. It may not sound obvious, but it reduces your ability to listen critically. The SRH1440s are intended for listening, not recording, so the open-back design means you'll only be listening to the sound of your mix, not the sound of your headphones.

Wide frequency response

The Shure SRH1440s sport an incredibly wide, 15Hz-27kHz frequency response. That's suitable for reproducing every detail of your music, for anything from hard-hitting electronica to the most dynamic, high-resolution classical recordings. And the impressively flat response ensures that you're hearing your music uncolored.

Smart accessory package

You get a storage case, a replacement set of velour earpads, a replacement cable, and a threaded adapter with your Shure SRH1440 open-back headphones. It's a smart set of extras that any working professional would want with a set of pro-headphones.

Shure SRH1440 Open-back Headphones Features:
  • Critical-listening headphones with a wide frequency response and exceptional accuracy
  • 40mm neodymium drivers sound well-defined
  • Open-back design provides a wide, natural stereo image with an increased depth of field
  • Low-noise performance from the oxygen-free copper cable with Kevlar-reinforced jacket
  • Fully adjustable steel headband is comfortable yet durable
  • Comfortable velour earpads are replaceable to ensure years of headphone use
  • Individually tested and serialized by Shure
Listen to the sound of your music and not your headphones, with the Shure SRH1440 open-back headphones!

Love these headphones!

I periodically use these with my Casio PX-360 digital piano. The sound is true and is exactly what I hear coming from the keyboard.

Great Reference Headphones for just tracking alone

Yeah I admit, I'm a headphone guy. I have two Yamaha HS8's (i know crappy) but with my Grace Design m905 connected via SPDIF to my mKII Symphony I/O PT HD 32x32 with my headphones connected, I got the monitoring down pat. No problem for me. My last headphone monitors literally were falling off my head during drumming and guitars solo's, (dude not just funny but pathetic the curse words were horrible!!!) singing you name it. I was a joke. Like if a poor guy saw it, he would have spent his dinner money just for me to have headphones as it was pathetic. So now I have two open back Shure headphones both great. I do need close back headphones but hey you cannot track with monitors unless you got a separate live room. Otherwise, you know my microphones would pick up you get the point so people may spend 3k on one speaker making the total 6k or whatever I say man just use headphones you're ears WILL BE MUCH better off I still stand by my unfounded and untested and completely spurious (LOL) belief that using headphones to track is the way to go. So yeah now I don't have to screw around with it to get it to fit right. So suffice to say I'm not sure where this review is going only to add that dude before buying a 4k dollar eq get good headphone monitors just because of practicality. You know you'll be happy and these sound great. DO NOT LOSE ANY CABLES WITH THIS!! p.s. i hope you got a laugh out of my silly nature. People laugher is great medicine. Also music is great medicine!

Literal Perfection

My sales engineer, David, recommended these to me after talking about a couple other pairs of headphones. At first, I was apprehensive about the price, but he was quick to explain how these would be the best sounding and most comfortable open back headphones out there, and he was spot on. They sound like listening to extremely high end speakers in an acoustically treated room, with the convenience of headphones. The sound is crystal clear, and they're so lightweight I sometimes forget I'm wearing them. These are well worth the... price tag, and I'd go as far as to say that these are perfect in every way. Grab a pair before they're gone!

I could have paid more, but why?

The Shure SRH1440 Pro open-back headphones are simply amazing. I never fully appreciated the depth, clarity and range that my Yamaha Arias could produce until I heard the sound through these headphones. Well worth the money.
